Mao aims for ticket to OP with changes in program (yesterday's practice)http://www.sanspo.com/sports/news/09...1924006-n1.htm
Changes in the SP:
- position of takeoff in 3A (probably the first combo) - jumps with back to the judges. JFA commitee member says it should help to avoid pressure
- quit Tano in 2nd toe - to improve quality of the second jump
- changed approach to 3F to left-wise
- shortened footwork rom 45 seconds down to 38 seconds
These changes were made right after the CoR and Asada says she feels much more comfortable with the revised program.
